September 5, 2016 Fishing Report

Good Morning to everyone!

Wow, waking up to some pretty chilly temperatures this morning on this fine Labor Day Monday! Currently, it’s currently only 45 degrees here in Trumbull and feels like 30! The early morning dew, combined with the chilly temps have really made it feel like a fall morning here in the valley. Looking like were going to have a very nice sunny day, with a high temperature of 87 degrees.  Alright, let’s get to some river updates, shall we? Flows below Cheesman are up just a bit from yesterday at 284 cfs, and 287 cfs in Trumbull. The fishing continues to produce as the Tricos dominate the morning dry action and the small nymphs and midges are pulling fish throughout the day!  Last night was another great evening of throwing streamers and BWO’S to the banks, as the fish are really turned on around dark! On several occasions, my wooley-bugger was annihilated as soon as the impostor hit the water!   As this was only the second or third time I’ve thrown fly’s in the dark, I wasn’t quite prepared to chase a trout around the Platte in the middle of the night! Needless to say, being ready for that strike was an understatement!  Getting ready to go for a bike ride downstream to check out conditions and see what the fishy’s are up to this morning!  As I have been riding the Platte River road each morning, I have noticed that there is still a few spots left in the campgrounds and the parking lots are not quite full at the fishing pull-outs! So, come on up, stop in to Flies and Lies http://www.flies-n-lies.com and pick up all you need for great day trout fishing on the beautiful South Platte River, Decker’s, Colorado.  Until later folks, have a great day and I hope to see you on the river!
